Movie showing slowed photobleaching using the new method

At time 0, the numbers of fluorescent molecules are about the same in both movies. The number decreases rapidly in the video on the left which employed a conventional observation method, whereas the number of fluorescent spots decreases very slowly in the video shown on the right, which was recorded using the newly developed method. See the spots jostle around in the cell membrane.

Higher Order Mode Video

This video shows a polystyrene particle propelled along a microfiber by light, first in the fundamental mode, then in a higher order mode. It is easy to see how much faster the particle zips along in the higher order mode.

STEPS - Visualization toolkit

In the upper left box you can see all parts of the neuron in this model, the external structure and internal compartment (ER) that holds calcium (yellow), and the proteins involved in opening the calcium channel (blue, bright magenta and dark magenta). In the other boxes, you can see the calcium or each protein separately to watch their movements and activation. In the bottom center, you can see the numerical data in real time as the model runs.
